These have been chitting in the grenier and according to our booklet they are now at the planting out stage. The booklet says the soil should be at 6C for three days in a row, at a depth of 10cm.
Colin duly found the thermometer to check this. It was registering the air temperature so needed to be reset. Colin shook it but Elizabeth could do it better...
We now have no way of knowing if the soil is at the right temperature so we're going to throw caution to the wind and plant the things anyway!
The new tool for planting potatoes and the like proved very successful... So successful in fact that Elizabeth got rather carried away with the planting...
If you happen to see a woman randomly planting potatoes near you, send her in the direction of Braye please!

If planting was a marathon, just wait for the harvest!
We could always offer the "potato picking experience" holiday of a lifetime - at reasonable cost, of course! Do you think it would sell, Gaynor?
Oops !! It wil be interesting to see how the plants do.
